Android 7.1.1 multi-user support in emulator

1.3k views Asked by At

I tried to get the multi-user support for my Android 7.1.1 AOSP emulator build on Ubuntu 16.04 64bit. The build gets run with lunch aosp_x86-eng and following the emulator with emulator64-x86.

I tried this solution but with no success:

adb shell
su
setprop fw.max_users 5

The Icon is visible for the first time when I wipe down the status bar, but disappears on releasing it:

screenshot emulator

Same like here:

adb shell setprop fw.show_multiuserui 1  
adb shell setprop fw.max_users 4  

I also tried to add an user by adb but without success. After executing the commands I test it by using:

su
pm get-max-users

result is:

Maximum supported users: 4

Is there a barrier or something like that? Or do I need to edit the build? If I need to root the system, why is the property set to 4 users? And why is the icon shown on the first wipe and disappears after releasing?

Thanks!
